More than one Laravel - Homestead project at a time?

can i set up more than one Laravel - Homestead project at a time? Would i just edit the homestead.yaml folder to something similar:

sites:
    - map: laravel.dev
      to: /home/vagrant/Sites/laravel-basics/public

    - map: project2.dev
      to: /home/vagrant/Sites/project2/public

Thanks

Joseph;

A couple of things to remember for setting up multiple sites (or sites in general) in Laravel 4.x.

1) Edit your host file, like Andrew mentioned. This tells your computer where to go locally when you direct your browser to some-site.com and some-other-site.com.

2) In your Homestead.yaml file, remember to not use the tab key to align your text.

3) After you have edited your .yaml and host files, remember to run the vagrant provision command from the command line so that it will reload your Homestead.yaml file to tell Laravel where to go for each URL.

That would be my general list of things to remember to do. I have multiple Laravel Homestead projects on my system and it is certainly doable as long as the computer knows where to go to get the information for each unique site.

Happy coding,

Ken

Yes, was far as I know that's the basics of it. You may need to remember to go in a edit you vhost file too.

It does work, except do not use tabs. Yaml files throw errors with tabs. Spaces only.

Thank Ken. The tab key was the hang up for me. Otherwise all is working fine.

Thanks for the help

Can't tell you home many times I zip through my Homestead.yaml file and use the tab key. Run vagrant provision and then have the light bulb moment. Sometimes it is the "silliest" things that cause the greatest issues.

Pleased it all worked out.

Happy coding,

Ken
